As for the value of exports, one estimate for Jaffa in 1825 was a mere
ep 5,000. The value of the average annual exports for 1841-1843 was about
£P 56,000.” By the late fifties to early sixties, it increases by almost three times:
the value of the average annual exports was £P 164,000 for 1857-1860 and 1862-
1863.” In the seventies, it almost doubles; the value of the average annual
exports reaches £P 323,000 for 1873-1882.”
The same types of products were exported in the 1880-1914 period, with
the addition of wine, now manufactured by the German Templars and Jewish
Europeans.” The value of exports continued to grow. Average annual exports
increased from £P 372,000 for 1883-1887, to £P 950,000 for 1908-1912.” In
1913, for Jaffa alone, exports amounted to £P 745,000.

of the exports of Acre came from outside what became mandatory Palestine.
